Mt. Moriah {by Crystal Dawn}


Mt. Moriah was originally established as a Masonic cemetery in 1877 or 1878.  
James Butler Hickok a.k.a. Wild Bill Hickok,
Calamity Jane,
Seth Bullock,
Preacher Henry Weston Smith, 
Blanche Colman (the first woman admitted to the South Dakota bar), 
journalist Edward L. Senn, 
Dr. Flora Stanford, 
Harris Franklin (of Franklin Hotel fame), 
and Col. John Lawrence (for whom Lawrence County is named) 
These are but a few of the many people at Mt. Moriah whose lives added to the story of Deadwood and the Black Hills.

This lark of an adventure inspired Indigo Swallows
